#### SUBJECT DEVICE DESCRIPTION
MIST IC from Imagine Milling Technologies, LLC is a line of Ti-base and machinable blank abutments to interface with compatible dental implants from 3 manufacturers, a total of 14 implant-abutment interface compatibilities. The compatible implant body diameters range from 3.25 mm to 6.0 mm and the corresponding implant platform diameters range from 3.4 mm. The subject device prosthetic
{6}------------------------------------------------
platform diameters range from 3.8 mm. All stock subject device components (abutments and abutment screws) are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. The subject device MIST IC L-LINK abutments have a TiN coating achieved through a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is identical to the process used for TiN coating of Imagine Milling Technologies, LLC devices cleared in K 182246. The PVD cathodic arc evaporation process is a high current, low voltage process in which material evaporated from the cathode (Ti) is ionized, transported through the vacuum chamber with reactive gas (N2) and deposited as a non-porous, thin film on the titanium substrate.
Each abutment is supplied with the non-sterile abutment screw designed for attachment to the corresponding compatible OEM implant.
All patient-specific abutment fabrication for all MIST IC abutments is by prescription on the order of the clinician. All MIST IC abutments are intended to be milled at an Imagine Milling Technologies, LLC validated milling center under FDA quality system regulations.
MIST IC L-LINK abutments are two-piece abutments to be used as a base when fabricating a CAD-CAM customized restoration where the superstructure produced will compose the second part of the two-piece abutment; the assembly becoming a final finished medical device after cementation on the subject device abutment. They are provided in straight designs, with engaging and non-engaging connections. The L-LNK abutments and corresponding zirconia superstructure are provided to the clinician either with the superstructure cemented to the abutment by the dental laboratory, or separately for the clinician to bond together chairside using the cement recommended in the labeling (RelyX RMGIP bonding cement, cleared in K022476).
Design parameters for the L-LINK zirconia superstructure are: Minimum wall thickness - 0.5 mm Minimum post height for single-unit restoration - 4.0 mm Minimum gingival height of the coping - 0 mm (all L-LINK bases have minimum gingival height of 0.5 mm) Maximum gingival height – 5.0 mm Maximum angle - 20°
All zirconia copings (superstructures) for use with the subject device MIST IC L-LINK abutments will conform to ISO 13356.
MIST IC PREFIT abutments are cylindrical abutments designed for patient-specific abutment fabrication by a CAD-CAM process and machined into a one-piece, all titanium abutment. The portion of the abutment available for milling is either 9.9 mm in diameter by 20 mm in diameter by 20 mm in diameter by 20 mm in length. MIST IC PREFIT abutments have an engaging connection.
Design parameters for the PREFIT patient specific abutment are: Minimum wall thickness - 0.5 mm Minimum post height for single-unit restoration - 4.0 mm Minimum gingival height - 0.5 mm Maximum gingival height - 5.0 mm Maximum angle - 30°
{7}------------------------------------------------
#### PERFORMANCE DATA
Non-clinical testing data submitted, or relied upon, to demonstrate substantial equivalence included:
non-clinical analysis performed to evaluate the metallic subject devices and the compatible OEM implant bodies in the MR environment using scientific rationale and published literature (TO Woods, JG Delfino, and S Rajan, "Assessment of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force and Torque on Metal Alloys Used in Medical Devices," Journal of Testing and Evaluation, Volume 49, No. 2, 2021, pp. 783-795); the analysis addressed parameters per the FDA guidance Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment (issued May 2021) including magnetically induced displacement force and torque;
sterilization validation according to ISO 17665-1 and ISO 17665-2;
biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-12;
reverse engineering of OEM implant bodies. OEM abutments, and OEM abutment screws to confirm compatibility;
and static and dynamic compression-bending testing according to ISO 14801.
No clinical data were included in this submission.
#### EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICES
The subject device is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the primary predicate device K182246. The subject device and the primary predicate device are intended to provide functional and esthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla and mandible. Provided at the end of this summary are tables comparing the Indications for Use Statements (IFUS) and the technological characteristics of the subject device and the primary predicate device.
All additional reference devices are identified for OEM implant body compatibilities.
The IFUS for the subject device is nearly identical to that of the primary predicate device K182246. The minor differences in language of the subject device and primary predicate device include the compatible implant systems and, therefore, do not affect the intended use as an endosseous dental implant for support of a prosthesis to restore chewing function. An additional difference is that the subject device IFUS includes language that the subject abutments for Biomet 3.25 mm implant bodies are indicated for maxillary lateral and mandibular central/lateral incisors only. This language is included in the IFUS to support substantial equivalence of the Biomet 3i Certain compatibility as related to the performance bench testing provided in this submission.
The subject device (MIST IC L-LINK and MIST IC PREFIT) and primary predicate device K182246 are indicated for use with CAD-CAM technology to fabricate patient-specific abutments prescribed by the clinician. The subject device and the primary predicate device require that digital files for CAD-CAM fabricated abutments be sent to a Imagine Milling Technologies, LLC validated milling center for manufacture.
The subject device (MIST IC L-LINK) is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate K182246 MIST IC L-LINK in material, design, and function. Both are manufactured from titanium alloy (conforming to ASTM F136) with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, both base designs require a zirconia superstructure that is cement-retained only, and both have the same range of angulation (up to 20°). The design parameters for the subject device MIST IC L-LINK zirconia superstructure are identical to the limits of fabrication for the primary predicate K182246.
The subject device MIST IC L-LINK differs from the primary predicate K182246 MIST IC L-LINK in the range of platform diameters and abutment-implant interfaces. These differences do not impact safety or
{8}------------------------------------------------
effectiveness because they are related to the compatible OEM implant designs and are mitigated by testing of the subject device constructs in conformance with ISO 14801.
The subject device MIST IC PREFIT is substantially equivalent to the K182246 MIST IC PREFIT in material, design, and function. Both are for cement-retained, single-unit or multi-unit restorations. Both are manufactured from titanium alloy (conforming to ASTM F136) and are for CAD-CAM fabrication of a onepiece, patient-specific abutment. The subject device MIST IC PREFIT and the K182246 MIST IC PREFIT abutments have the same range of angulation (up to 30°). The design parameters for the subject device MIST IC PREFIT patient specific abutment are identical to the limits of fabrication for the primary predicate K182246.
The subject device MIST IC PREFIT differs from the primary predicate K182246 MIST IC PREFIT in the range of platform diameters and abutment-implant interfaces. These differences do not impact safety or effectiveness because they are related to the compatible OEM implant designs and are mitigated by testing of the subject device constructs in conformance with ISO 14801.
The subject device MIST IC L-LINK and MIST IC PREFIT stock abutments are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. The titanium alloy subject device components are manufactured from identical materials, in identical facilities using the identical manufacturing processes as used for Imagine Milling Technologies, LLC products cleared previously in the K182246. The subject device MIST IC L-LINK abutments have a TiN coating achieved through a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is identical to the TiN coating on devices previously cleared in Imagine Milling Technologies, LLC primary predicate K182246. No dyes or coloring additives are used.
The subject device MIST IC L-LINK abutments are to be used with copings fabricated from zirconia conforming to ISO 13356. This is the same material used for copings in the primary predicate device K182246. The recommended bonding cement for the subject device MIST IC L-LINK zirconia superstructures is RelyX RMGIP cleared in K022476, the same cement recommended for bonding the copings in the primary predicate device K182246.
Compatibility testing was performed for each of the compatible OEM implant system interfaces (platforms). For each of the compatible OEM implant system interfaces, critical dimensions were identified and were measured from samples of OEM implants, OEM abutments, and OEM abutment screws. The key dimensional data measured from the OEM components were used to establish tolerances for corresponding subject device abutments and abutment screws to ensure that the subject device components are compatible with the corresponding OEM implant system connections.
Mechanical performance testing of the subject device was performed in conformance to ISO 14801. The fatigue limit data demonstrated that constructs of the subject device abutments and abutment screws. fabricated to the limits stated in the proposed labeling, in combination with previously cleared compatible OEM implants have sufficient strength for their intended use.
Minor differences in the designs, dimensions, sizes, or compatible implant lines between the subject device and the primary predicate device do not affect substantial equivalence. These minor differences do not impact substantial equivalence because these differences are related to the compatible OEM implant designs.
{9}------------------------------------------------
#### CONCLUSION
The subject device and primary predicate device have intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of the same materials. The subject device and the primary predicate device encompass the same range of physical dimensions, are packaged in the same materials, and are to be sterilized using the same methods. The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices listed above.

1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
